What’s your method of remembering the :link :visited :focus :hover :active order?
Before I read this I had my own vulgar method of remembering the order of these pseudo-classes which I shan’t fully repeat here (Love V F Hot A - you can guess the rest), but my wife heard me mumbling it with her back turned and spun around expecting to see me looking at explicit material. I think she was more shocked when she found herself staring into lines of CSS code.
I like the SW one in the reference, but I’d like a new one so I stay above suspicion.
